Nurturing Our Keiki with Yoga Scholarships
The Mali'o Foundation is committed to fostering the well-being of our keiki (children) by making yoga accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. Our Children's Yoga Scholarship Program provides partial scholarships to families in need, allowing their children to attend enriching yoga classes that offer a wide range of physical, psychological, and emotional benefits.
The Transformative Benefits of Children's Yoga
Yoga is a powerful practice that supports the holistic development of children. Through our scholarship program, children will gain access to classes that:
Improve Balance and Strength: Yoga enhances physical health by building balance, strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Boost Psychological Well-Being: Regular yoga practice improves focus, memory, and academic performance while reducing anxiety and stress. It also enhances self-esteem and promotes a positive mindset.
Enhance Emotional Regulation: Yoga helps children develop better emotional control, teaching them to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
Increase Mindfulness and Body Awareness: Yoga encourages mindfulness, helping children become more aware of their bodies and how they move, which can lead to improved concentration and memory.
Support Health and Wellness: Yoga provides relief from symptoms of various childhood conditions such as asthma, autism, and ADHD, making it a valuable tool for overall wellness.
Gabriele (Kaia’s grandmother)
“Thank you so much for the scholarship for the six week Keiki yoga class.
Kaia lost both parents at age four. She has a tendency to get anxious. Attending the keiki yoga classes has helped Kaia to reduce anxiety.
She learned relaxation skills and resiliency and is able to deal with change appropriately. Kaia starts her mornings with stretching exercises and is proud to show me and her friends the yoga poses that she learned.
Whenever I am in a rush, she tells me “breathe Oma.”
Helping with Afterschool Care
In addition to its numerous benefits, our program also serves as a valuable afterschool care resource. By participating in yoga classes, children engage in a constructive and nurturing activity after school, giving parents peace of mind knowing their keiki are in a safe and supportive environment.
